Just a thought.
The only way the list would be invalid is if people were placed out of order on it. Assuming our list had people out of order, then we would just fix the order of the list and resubmit it. However that corrected list would still have the amended DOH for each pilot. A seniority list is not a DOH list, it is simply a listing of the most senior through the most junior pilot. All other data (DOH, employee number, race, age, etc) is ancillary to the seniority list and in no way affects the validity of the order of the listing of pilots. Again, Mesaba is not contesting the order that our pilots are listed in. They are contesting additional data attached to the seniority list.
